This is a bit unusual: 22 frets and a single-piece top (no bookmatch). Don't mind that little groove on the lower body half. That's where the battery cavity will connect with the main electronics cavity. |

Ditto! I'm interested to see how this pup will turn out. |

I hear we stopped the single piece style for lack of an excellent example of the wood in the wide width. So now it's back on construction track with a bookmatch to center.

Why do you want only 22 frets instead of 24? |

That will put the neck pickup close to where the 24th fret would have been; some players prefer that, as they consider it a sweeter spot. Valentino |

Thanks, Val! I was curious, and now I know! |

Got the sealer coats on. I wasn't sure if it was this far along when you were visiting:

Looks like it's routed for Spectrum electronics, Kev - gorgeous guitar, in any case. Tom |

D'uh! My bad...I totally ignored the S/S/H lay-out! Yup, that shape would've been my body of choice had I placed a pre-price hike order at the end of '04. I probably would have gone with Tribute electronics at the time, but now I might have gone Series. |
